What does it take to throw the ultimate Super Bowl Party? Lots of money.

Web Watch loves watching the Super Bowl. Yeah, we don’t often care what teams are playing – although we always cheer for the NFC – but we love the glory, the spectacle, the over-excess of the event itself.

And yes, we even get to watch a decent commercial or two.

The Big Game, Pigskin Party, Gridiron Madness — whatever you end up calling the Super Bowl, there is typically one thing on everybody’s mind when Super Bowl weekend comes barrelling through: HOW DO YOU THROW THE ULTIMATE SUPER BOWL PARTY?

Whatever you do — it all comes down to making sure that you have the right food, the right decorations, the right TV and sound system to enjoy the game.

$11 billion, just for one sporting event. No wonder there are petitions encouraging the NFL to move Super Sunday to Super Saturday instead, so that all of America can sleep in after a rough night of partying.

The average person who wants to enjoy the game will spend $63.87 on food, beverages, and cheering apparel. Web Watch has been known to spend a whole lot more than that when our team makes it to the Big Dance.

So what do people really spend their money on?

71.3% goes to food and beverages (or to be more honest, “beer and chips”)
